Transmigrated to the 1960s, Li Chu only wanted to lay low and live a safe, peaceful life.
...Just as Shen Yi was wondering who he was talking to, a scene that shocked him unfolded.
The dogs that were lying on the ground immediately stood up. Three of them stood up, one of them ran straight to the front yard, and the other two ran into the kitchen.
A moment later, it ran out with a cloth bag in its mouth and ran towards the front yard.
Shen Yi felt his eyes bulging out of their sockets.
He had only heard Li Wenhui say that her dog was very smart, but that was just hearsay, and he always thought that his fiancée was exaggerating.
Now these scenes are actually happening right before his eyes, which he simply cannot understand.
Is this really a dog? Or is it a person disguised as a dog?
"Really that smart?" Shen Yi muttered to himself unconsciously.
"Hmph, I told you long ago that my dogs are exceptionally smart, but you didn't believe me. Now you do, don't you?"
"I believe it, I believe it, it's amazing!" Shen Yi's eyes gleamed as he looked at the dog sitting next to his fiancée's lap.
Can I touch it?
"Sure." Li Wenhui squatted down and patted the dog's head.
"Touch me now, but be gentle."
Shen Yi reached out and carefully patted Da Sheng's head twice. He didn't dare to pat it too much because he could clearly sense that Da Sheng didn't like him.
Li Wenhui comforted the Great Sage twice before standing up.
"It's not bad, at least they didn't keep scaring you. There's an uncle who's been my dad's friend for over 20 years. Every time he comes to our house, his dogs whimper at him, making that uncle afraid to move around freely in our house."
Shen Yi became more and more interested as he listened, squatting down to look at this one and that one.
Li Wenhui could tell at a glance what her fiancé was up to.
"Stop thinking about those things. You can't have these dogs. Even if we get married in the future, we can only hold one puppy at most when they are born."
"Why?" Shen Yi asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Any dog in my house will not eat unless fed by my parents. Don’t be fooled by its obedience to my sister. Try letting my sister feed it and see if it will eat.”
Before Li Wenhui could say anything, Li Wenxuan, who had just finished showering and was walking over from the front yard, spoke first.
"Oh, is that another way of saying it?" Shen Yi clapped his hands and stood up.
"Wenxuan, can't you even feed him?"
"No, it's the same for everyone except my parents, unless one of them is around, then it's a different story."
"Hey……"
As they were talking, Aunt Wang woke up and came out of the west wing.
A little while later, Ding Qiunan, as if timed perfectly, came out of the house right after buying breakfast.
Looking at the two large bags full of steamed buns, Shen Yi swallowed hard. There were just too many. Even if these people had big appetites, they couldn't finish them.
His father-in-law's next move opened his eyes once again.
They were sitting around the stone table, eating steamed buns and drinking porridge.
Li Chu kept taking buns out of a cloth bag and feeding them to the dog one by one.
Goodness, the food here is just as good as what people get.
Shen Yi now had a preliminary understanding of his fiancée's family's financial resources.
No wonder he was able to buy three courtyard houses in one go.
"Xiao Yi, eat quickly, and then go rest. You should take care of your health even when you're young, otherwise you'll suffer when you get older."
"I understand, Uncle Li. I don't usually stay up late."
“He might be a little shy in the new environment and didn’t sleep well last night. I told him to take a nap after dinner, since he has to take the train tonight.”
Seeing that Aunt Wang and her daughter-in-law were both looking at him questioningly, Li Chu explained.
While eating, Shen Yi glanced at the dogs. He counted that each dog had eaten five buns, more than he could eat. He would feel full after eating three of those big buns.
Then he saw his father-in-law run into the kitchen and come out with three cans of food in his hand. He opened them and glanced at them; they were meat cans.
The seven dogs divided the three cans of food equally, and after eating and drinking their fill, they all slipped back under the eaves to rest.
Who exactly is this family? How much does this father-in-law earn in a month?
Shen Yi felt that at this moment his mind was full of question marks.
He remembered that his grandfather's monthly salary was a little over four hundred. Could it be that his father-in-law's salary was higher than his grandfather's? No way.
After dinner, while Li Wenhui escorted him back to the guest room in the front yard to rest, he asked about his doubts.
"Hmm? I heard my mom mention it once, my dad's salary is around five or six hundred."
Sure enough, his salary was higher than his grandfather's.
Are all tech people this good?
He's now a county-level official, but his salary is barely a hundred yuan.
Actually, Li Wenhui didn't explain it clearly to him. The five or six hundred yuan that Wenhui mentioned was the salary paid by the main hospital.
They didn't mention the health care group, nor did they calculate the 50 yuan monthly subsidy for the academic committee.
Li Chu is currently at the highest technical level, and there are very few people in the country who can earn more than him.
Moreover, most of the others who had more than him were in the Northwest.
One of them, whom he had treated last month, had just recovered and then ran back to the Northwest without even saying goodbye.
Li Chu was so angry that he jumped up and down. He had no choice but to chase after her and go over there himself.
As it turned out, because he was on a cargo plane used by headquarters to transport goods, he arrived a day earlier than the other person.
It's easy to imagine that when that person returned to the base the next day and saw Li Chu's face, which was even blacker than the bottom of a pot, he was terrified, as if he had seen a ghost.
When he heard that Li Chu had come on a cargo plane from headquarters, he regretted it so much that he slapped his thigh and said that he should have taken the same plane, which had wasted a whole day of his time.
It wasn't that headquarters wouldn't let him sit there, but rather that the cargo plane was genuinely uncomfortable to sit on.
Even someone as robust as Li Chu hasn't fully recovered yet; he can still hear the roar of an engine in his ears.
These people are all national treasures; losing any one of them would be a loss for the entire nation.
Therefore, for their health, it is simply impossible to let them travel on cargo planes. If something were to happen during the journey, who could bear the responsibility?
Li Chu spent half a month in Northwest China, giving each of the veterans at the base a medical check-up and explaining the necessary medical advice to the accompanying doctor.
Two weeks later, they returned on another cargo plane carrying supplies.
During this trip, he also took the opportunity to visit Wang Bing, the second son of Uncle Wang's family, and his wife and children.
They also brought back good news: Wang Bing and his troops would be returning soon.
His wife and his teenage son will come back with him then.
Li Wenhui escorted Shen Yi to the door of the guest room in the front yard and then prepared to return to the central courtyard.
He had just turned around when he saw his younger brother and Wang Yueyue walking out of his room, one after the other.
"You two are completely unconcerned about hiding from people now, huh?" Li Wenhui teased.
“Sister Hui, you can come in too. We’ll just pretend we didn’t see anything,” Wang Yueyue said defiantly, gesturing towards the guest room with her eyes.
